The National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration (NOAA) has been able to create relief in areas affected by the 2004 Tsunami, like Phuket. They have been able to collaborate there efforts with the community in installing the dart II system, which is a Tsunami warning system. The ocean and beaches are a big part of business for the people in Thailand. Keeping locals and tourists safe is a main focus of the communities near the ocean. The NOAA has been able to provide security to the at risk communities with the dart II system.
The installation of the dart II system has made it possible for the sites and sounds of the danger areas to come alive again. Fishing, tourism and the communities are again alive and well, and some of this can be contributed to the security and protection provided by the NOAA.
This security and protection provided by the NOAA along with the at risk Tsunami areas can trickle down to the potential traveler. The tourist that comes to Thailand can expect to have an authentic experience that is worry free from the potential natural disaster that could occur.
The NOAA has provided protection now and for the future in Thailand. It helps fisherman know when not to go out fishing, and tells the locals and tourists when to get to higher ground. This protection also allows for the culture and history of Thailand can be better preserved by giving all generations a chance for survival if another Tsunami were to occur.

Rainforests of the Atsinanana is located in Madagascar. It is a beautiful forest that inhabits a wide variety of animals unique to the area. It is comprised of six different parks all of which are important in the islands biological and ecological processes.
The rainforest is being continually poached. Logging is a major concern for UNESCO and Madagascar. They are struggling to preserve and protect the resources of the forest.
Another concern is that they are not able to collaborate their efforts in preserving the rainforest with everyone. Even with great efforts illegal logging is still taking place. Also there is deforestation by slash and burn agriculture. This is due to the main supporters being outside the region.
Much is being done to stop the deforestation taking place in the Rainforests of the Atsinanana. One way they are limiting illegal logging is by seizing all illegal timber. Then after seizing the illegal timber selling it and asking for clarification of want to do with the funds created from the timber. They are also increasing patrol efforts to stop the illegal logging and secure the illegal timber.
